Bringing together grassroots activists from different parts of the world and contexts, this workshop aims to provide a space to listen to one another’s experiences. Where are we situated in relation to each other's struggles? Why should we, and how can we, care about these struggles in the face of growing authoritarianisms? Queer activists invited for this workshop will share the issues they are dealing with or struggling against, and then we will be discussing how to forge solidarities to help identify, transform, or dismantle oppressive structures that hold up authoritarian forces.
